Single pane of glass, easy to share dashboards, and good for monitoring
We've had some issues where we had Datadog automatically turned on in AWS regions that we weren't using, which incurred a small but steady cost that amounted to tens of thousands of dollars spent over a few weeks. I wish there was a global setting that lets an admin restrict which regions DD is turned on in as a default setup step. Sometimes, the APM service dashboard link isn't sharable. I click something in the service catalog, and on that service's APM default view, I try to share a link to that with a teammate, and they reach a blank or error screen. I wish there was more organization and detail in the suggestions when I use the query editor. I'm never quite sure when the autofill dropdown shows up if I'm seeing some custom tag or some default property, so I have to know exactly what I'm looking for in order to build a chart. It's hard to navigate and explore using the query autofill suggestions without knowing exactly what tag to look for. It's been a bit hard to understand how data gets sampled or how many data points a particular dashboard value is using. We've had questions over the RUM metrics that we see and we had to ask for help with how values are calculated, bin sizes, etc to get confidence in our data.

Helps to find devices that are lost but improvement is needed in mapping
The tool's deployment is easy. There are lots of documents and support available online. I help deploy Workspace ONE Intelligence. It's not hard to deploy since we've done it many times. We use the on-premises solution now. Basic deployment takes one day, but adding features like tunneling takes an extra day. The main challenge is network connectivity. The documentation is good and available online.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Datadog provides tracing and logging, whereas Dynatrace focuses on tracing, and Splunk is more of a logging tool. Datadog's advantage is that we don't need two tools."
"I don't have to worry about upgrades with the AWS version."
"The full stack of integrations made it easier to monitor the different technologies and platform providers, including Software as a Service providers, that otherwise would need a lot of work and customization to be able to see what is happening."
"The ingestion points are unlimited and support customization. We haven't had anything yet that we haven't been able to integrate with it."
"The most valuable feature of Datadog is its logs."
"Having a wealth of information has helped us investigate outages, and having historical data helps us tune our system."
"The single pane of glass view with maneuvering between products has helped us to truly understand root causes after incidents."
"The solution has improved the organization by providing good insights into app performance and offering good dashboards."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its tunneling capability. It is good for inventory, encryption, device location, and kiosk mode. If a device is lost, you can find it. We integrated it with a third-party tool for one-time passwords and two-factor authentication. The user-friendly interface makes device management easy."
"Integration is also very easy."
"I would rate Workspace ONE Intelligence nine out of ten."
 

Cons

"In the past two years, there have been a couple of outages."
"I would like the tooling to have better integration in Slack, specifically sending out reminders to the relevant people to take breaks, do a retrospective, and specify with emojis which messages to log."
"Billing should be more transparent."
"The product needs to have more enterprise approach to configuration."
"I would like testing for data in the future."
"While the documentation is very good, there are areas that need a lot of focus to pick up on the key details."
"A tool as powerful as Datadog is, understandably, going to have a bit of a learning curve, especially for new team members who are unfamiliar with the bevy of features it offers."
"There is always room for improvement when dealing with cloud-based technologies. Mainly, I would say, it's just increasing our offerings to attract various other types of industries and businesses across more fields."
"One area for improvement is location mapping - it uses Bing Maps instead of Google Maps, which isn't always up to date. Device enrollment can also be challenging, especially for older devices that need a factory reset."
"Windows devices management needs improvement."
"Support could be improved for Workspace, especially the technical part, and it needs to ensure that issues can be resolved within one or two days."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution is budget friendly."
"It didn't scale well from the cost perspective. We had a custom package deal."
"I am not satisfied with its licensing. Its payment is based on the exported data, and there was an explosion of the data for three or four weeks. My customer was not alerted, and there was no way for them to see that there has been an explosion of data. They got a big invoice for one or two months. The pricing model of Datadog is based on the data. The customer was quite surprised about not being alerted about this explosion of data. They should provide some kind of alert when there is an increase in usage."
"Pricing seemed easy until the bill came in and some things were not accounted for."
"While it is an expensive product, I would rate the pricing level at four out of five."
"The pricing came up a bit compared to their competitors. It is not that the price has risen, but that the competitors have gone down. They keep adding more features that I would have expected to be baked in at a more nominal price. I have been increasingly dissatisfied with the pricing, but not enough to jump ship."
"They prefer monthly subscriptions."
"Licensing is based on the retention period of logs and metrics."
"The solution is cost-effective. Workspace ONE Intelligence is neither cheap nor expensive. Compared to other tools like MaaS360, it Is more cost-effective. It costs about seven dollars per user, while others might cost $50—a big difference."
